In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of a 3DP powder printing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method comprises the following steps:
s110: analyzing each layer of printing image corresponding to the component to be printed in advance to determine a target printing image, and adding a preset mark to the target printing image; the target printing image comprises a printing image corresponding to a target layer which can cause the tape-pushing displacement of the previous layer of powder when printing;
it should be noted that each member to be printed corresponds to a respective multilayer print image, and when the member to be printed is printed, each layer of print image is read in sequence to print the corresponding layer. In this application, each layer of printing image that corresponds respectively with every component of waiting to print carries out the analysis in advance, determine the target layer that can make the one deck take place to push away the tape displacement phenomenon when printing from it, and regard the printing image that corresponds with this layer as the target printing image, this target layer needs carry out special treatment when printing the component, so that prevent that the one deck from sending and pushing away the tape displacement phenomenon when printing this layer, so in this application after determining the target printing image, add preset mark (this preset mark is 1 for example) to the target printing image, so that print the messenger according to the component of waiting to print of each layer printing image, can discern which layer can make the one deck send and push away the tape displacement phenomenon when printing, then carry out corresponding processing when printing this layer. Step S110 in this embodiment is only required to be executed once before the member to be printed is printed.
Specifically, in the step S110, the process of analyzing each layer of the print image corresponding to the to-be-printed member in advance to determine the target print image, and adding the preset mark to the target print image may specifically be:
carrying out differential product processing on the areas of the spraying agent in every two adjacent layers of printing images in each layer of printing images corresponding to the member to be printed, and calculating the area of a differential product image of the spraying agent area in the (n + 1) th layer of printing images and the spraying agent area of the nth layer of printing images; where N is 1,2,3 … N, N being the total number of printed images;
and judging whether the area of the difference product image is larger than a preset value or not, if so, taking the (n + 1) th layer of printing image as a target printing image, and adding a preset mark to the (n + 1) th layer of printing image.
It should be noted that the area of the sprayed adhesive in the printed image refers to the area corresponding to the adhesive area of the printed image where the adhesive needs to be sprayed, that is, the adhesive is sprayed on the sprayed adhesive area in the actual printing.
Specifically, the area of the spray agent receiving area in the n +1 th layer of the print image and the area of the spray agent receiving area in the n th layer of the print image are shown in fig. 3, in the present application, the area of the difference product image between the area of the spray agent receiving area in the n +1 th layer of the print image and the area of the spray agent receiving area in the n th layer of the print image can be calculated (as shown in fig. 4), and whether the area of the difference product image is larger than a preset value (the preset value is, for example, 0.5 square meter) is judged, when the area of the difference product image is larger than the preset value, it is described that the tape pushing displacement phenomenon occurs in the n th layer of the powder layer when the n +1 th layer is printed, and then a preset mark is added to the n +1 th layer of the print image. And polling from the first image larger than the image until the N-1 layer printing image and the N layer printing image are processed, and finishing. And adding preset marks to the corresponding target printing images for each component to be printed according to the mode.
S120: acquiring an image to be printed corresponding to a current layer to be printed;
specifically, when the component is printed, the corresponding printing images of each layer are sequentially read, and the corresponding printing is performed on the layer according to the printing requirement, wherein when the current layer to be printed is printed, the image to be printed corresponding to the current layer to be printed can be read from the prestored multilayer printing images corresponding to the printing component. S130: identifying the image to be printed, judging whether the image to be printed has a preset mark, if so, entering S140;
after the image to be printed corresponding to the current layer to be printed is obtained, performing mark recognition on the image to be printed to determine whether a preset mark is added to the image to be printed, and when the preset mark exists in the image to be printed, indicating that the phenomenon of tape pushing displacement of the previous layer can occur when the layer is printed according to a conventional mode, so that step S140 needs to be executed at this time, so that the previous layer does not move along with the powder spreading action of the current layer to be printed when the current layer to be printed is printed after corresponding processing is performed. In addition, if the preset mark does not exist in the image to be printed, the phenomenon that the belt pushing displacement of the previous layer is not caused when the current layer to be printed is printed according to a conventional method is explained, so that the current layer to be printed can be printed according to a conventional method (for example, the powder spreading speed is not lower than 300 mm/s).
S140: and processing the current layer to be printed and/or the previous layer of powder layer positioned on the current layer to be printed so as to prevent the previous layer of powder layer from moving along with the powder laying action of the current layer to be printed.
Specifically, when a preset mark exists in an image to be printed corresponding to a current layer to be printed, the current layer to be printed and/or a previous layer of powder layer located on the current layer to be printed can be processed, so that the previous layer of powder layer does not move along with the powder spreading action of the current layer to be printed, then the current layer to be printed is printed, after the current layer to be printed is printed, a printed image corresponding to a next layer to be printed can be continuously obtained, whether the preset mark exists or not is judged, if the preset mark exists, the processing is continuously performed according to the method in the application, and if the preset mark does not exist, the corresponding printed layer is printed according to a conventional method.
Further, in the step S140, the process of processing the current layer to be printed and/or the previous powder layer on the current layer to be printed may specifically be:
reducing the powder spreading speed of the powder spreader to the current layer to be printed;
and/or carrying out solidification treatment on the previous powder layer positioned on the current layer to be printed.
It should be noted that, the powder spreading speed may be reduced by controlling the powder spreader, for example, the powder spreading printing is performed on the current layer to be printed at a speed lower than 300mm/s, so as to reduce the impact of the current layer to be printed on the previous powder layer, so that the previous powder layer does not move along with the powder spreading action of the current layer to be printed. In addition, the previous powder layer can be solidified, for example, by applying a catalyst to the previous powder layer, the previous powder layer is solidified quickly, so that the strength of the previous powder layer can reach the strength capable of resisting the powder spreading impact of the current layer to be printed. Of course, the powder spreading speed of the powder spreader can be reduced, and meanwhile the previous layer of powder layer is solidified, which specific mode is adopted can be determined according to actual needs, and the application is not specially limited.
It should be further noted that, in the above step S140, the process of processing the current layer to be printed and/or the previous powder layer located on the current layer to be printed may further be:
controlling a powder paving device to pause for a preset time length and then paving the powder on the current layer to be printed;
and/or carrying out solidification treatment on the previous powder layer positioned on the current layer to be printed.
That is, the powder spreader may be controlled to pause for a preset time (e.g., 1min) so that the previous powder layer has a time long enough to solidify to a strength that can resist the impact of the powder spread of the current layer to be printed. In addition, in order to shorten the time of pause, the powder spreader can be paused and the previous powder layer can be solidified, so that the printing efficiency is improved under the condition that the previous powder layer does not move along with the powder spreading action of the current layer to be printed.
Specifically, the process of performing the curing treatment on the previous powder layer located on the current layer to be printed specifically includes:
and applying a catalyst to the previous powder layer positioned on the current layer to be printed so as to solidify the previous powder layer.
Of course, besides applying the catalyst, the curing treatment of the previous powder layer may be implemented by other means, for example, by heating or cooling, and the specific manner may be determined according to actual needs.
Therefore, after each layer of printing images corresponding to the component to be printed is analyzed in advance, target printing images needing to be added with preset marks are determined, the preset marks are added to the target printing images, and the target printing images comprise printing images corresponding to target layers, wherein the previous layer of powder layer can generate tape pushing displacement during printing; when printing according to each layer of printing image, the printing image corresponding to the current printing layer is identified through identification, and when the preset mark exists in the printing image of the current printing layer pair, the current printing layer and/or the previous layer of powder layer positioned on the current printing layer is processed, so that the previous layer of powder layer does not move along with the powder spreading action of the current printing layer, the phenomenon of tape pushing displacement is avoided to a certain extent, and the printing efficiency and the quality of the printed product are improved.
In addition, the printing method provided by the application does not need to limit the area of the spraying agent joint of the middle layer of the component to be printed, namely, the method can be used for printing a model with a large area of the spraying agent joint of the middle layer, and the application range is expanded.
